Hello.

I grew up in Malaysia and Thailand, moving between cities and international settings from birth to eighteen. The landscapes I knew were urban — concrete, air conditioning, the hum of tropical cities. Nature was something glimpsed through a window, not something I was part of.

My parents brought their own worlds with them: a French father and a Seychellois mother, two cultures shaped by different relationships with land, ocean, and food. Growing up as a third culture kid — never fully from one place, always carrying several — gave me an acute sensitivity to belonging, to roots, to what connects people to the places they inhabit.

What I didn't have as a child was soil under my feet. That absence became a question I couldn't stop asking.

That question led me to study environmental sciences, plants, food — and then to the living systems that sustain them. I studied Resilient Farming and Food Systems at Wageningen University in the Netherlands, one of the world's leading institutions in sustainable agriculture. During that time, with the help of other critical thinkers, I immersed myself in the ecological principles behind food production, nutrient cycles, human actions, and the design of regenerative landscapes.

My Master's research took me deep into nutrient circularity across food forest farms, tracing how nutrients move through systems. Later, a research internship in Vietnam placed me in the field alongside coffee farming communities, conducting data analysis and stakeholder work that grounded theory in lived agricultural reality.

Then I came back to Bangkok, where these experiences motivated me to bring them home. I've been designing permaculture rooftop gardens and farms for hotels, schools and individuals, developing urban growing projects, and facilitating workshops on food and ecology. Cities, it turns out, are where the reconnection is most needed!
